Re: The most astounding fact [MISLEADING TITLE -mods]
Eh i think that's not where the problem is, in fact, i think space exploration actually does a lot of good things, it's just that people have no idea just how many things that they use every day, was maybe direct result of space eploration. Space exploration is a good thing, it's never bad thing to seek out and explore new… -
fast way to bake AO maps in maya
hi, for some time now I have been looking for a fast and convienent way of baking ambient occlusion maps in maya, because I want to use them as base for my textures. however apparently I have to set up the AO shader, which is not that much work ok, but still annoying if you have various objects and since a friend of mine… -
Re: This is the last straw with Maya.
Sometimes I miss Nendo for fast poly modeling :( Wish it had been developed further for sub-divs.. Was lightning fast as a box modeler back in the day. So damn intuitive and accessible. I tested Modo back in 301, and while I know its a powerful package, I hated the workflow and UI during the trial. Just felt like it was… -
Zbrush Fast Sculpting Brushes
I made my own custom brushes that I'm using for some time now to quickly sculpt in Zbrush. Mainly for using the Sculptris Pro feature but also for the default sculpting. I made them now available for free here: https://gumroad.com/l/NTPi Or Artstation (1 dollar):… -
Re: How fast should I be at generating assets?
I could probably model and texture that in about seven hours, possibly less, depending on motivation and stress, etc. Two days isn't bad at all! It's worth keeping in mind that creating quality art is, of course, our top priority. As artists, however, we're also exposed to the other aspect of the business: profit margins.… -
Re: Paint vertex normals in 3dsmax

The result will be 100% ass from an engineering perspective but that's not the point - Robots are excellent at prototypes / proof of concepts. The ethical concerns around robots writing… -
What do I need for a fast Game Dev workflow
I have been reading some forums here on polycount on what to get. I use the Xoliul Shader for my character modeling. So far I bought 8 Gigs of Ram now having a total of 14 Gigs of ram. However that did not solve my issue for fast workflow. I have read that I need good GPU more than anything since I'm using the Xoliul… -
Re: Reflections on The Game Industry as a 3D Artist
Continuing from my previous post ... GenAI has also resulted in a lot of layoffs, for 2 reasons. One is companies got rid of employees in favor of using AI because they thought it would be cheaper. The other is AI ended up being more expensive than companies expected (I am not surprised) so then they got rid of more… -
Re: What is your past experience with art tests?
Do some art tests, then work on your won stuff and then you'll see what's more fun ;) Seriously, some test do make sense and some can be fun. But I also came across tests that made you really wonder if an artist looked over your resume and folio before having the HR drone hand you the standard art test that makes you…
